I don't really care how much the latest superhero film took at the box office, although I'd probably know if you asked me. When I watch a film the main thing I am looking for is a good story. I like it when I look up at the big screen and can see a part of me staring back at me. More than anything, I am still looking for Jimmy Stewart and Jack Lemmon and Billy Wilder in every film I see.

Five Questions For You All
1. Favourite movie?
2. Most watched box set?
3. Favourite rom-com moment?
4. First image that pops into your head when I say 'Dustin Hoffman'?
1. barberlla or day or the dead (both on equal footing) 2. back to the future trilogy 3. brooklyn decker in a bikini in just go with it 4. hook, hook, hook, hook 5. prince charles cinema
1. Winter's Bone 2. Lord of the Rings extended cut 3. Every single scene from Bridesmaids that has Melissa McCarthy in it. 4. 'I'm an excellent driver.' 5. Toss-up between The Roxy and The Embassy theatres in Wellington, NZ.
1. Last of the Mohicans 2. Wings for Wheels documentary from the Born to Run boxed set 3. Hugh Grant dancing in Love Actually 4. Stanley Motts 5. The River Hills (may she rest in peace)
3. now what pops in my head is the scene in Bridget Jones Diary 2 (I guess) where Colin Firth and Hugh Grant fights in the street but then they drag themselves breaking the restaurant window, where someone in it is having a birthday party. And both couldn't help but join singing Happy birthday. After that they continue to fight again.
2. Probably Seinfeld. Watched it a couple of times with my kids.
3. That's a tricky one! There are loads! One that pops up in my head right now is the New Year party in the end of When Harry met Sally. Also love the reading of the poem at the funeral in Four weddings and a funeral. Or if a TV series: when they're dancing to "It's raining men" in Queer like us.
4. First image that pops into your head when I say 'Dustin Hoffman'?
Dressed as a lady in Tootsie
5. Favourite cinema in all of the world?
I love my little arthouse one in my city that miraculously has survived. But admittedly the screen is small and it's very worn out. As of comfort and viewing nothing can compare to some of the multiplex cinemas I went to in US. Perfect grading, huge comfortable seats... really fantastic compared to what I'm used to.
1. My (current) favorite movie would have to be...Another Earth.
ReplyDelete2. 24, season 1.
3. Prolly when Bob Hope was stashing his money in a statue while kissing his lady-to-be.
4. Master Shifu.
5. Admitting that I haven't been to any top-notch ones, I'd say either Galaxy Uptown, or the IMAX in Tukwila, WA.
